Why aren't more people talking about this? My childhood obsession with Babylon and Mesopotamia has been unlocked.
I loved this book. It was so well written, and Casati's prose is amazing. At the same time, the DRAMA. This family is messy and I absolutely love it. Semiramis was such a great and complex character, and I can totally understand why everyone hates/loves her. Her political playing, her mind, and her legacy is amazing. The mother queen is so annoying and hateful AND I LOVE IT.
I need more mythology books like this.
